Melbourne Space Program

September and October 2024 have been remarkable for the space industry, highlighted by SpaceX’s record-breaking Polaris Dawn mission and the successful capture of a starship super booster. In Australia, astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg received an Honorary Doctorate for her significant contributions to space.
